News from the website of Lydia, Caleb and Isaac Easton http://www.easton.me.uk/baby/index.php en-gb Tue, 3 Jan 2012 22:52:42 22JanMET Copyright: (c) 2006 Babies.me.uk 60 Happy New Year! We have had a happy and relaxing ten days or so, celebrating Christmas and New Year with family and friends. Christmas Day and Boxing Day were spent at Elizabeth's parents, and David's parents came to stay with us in Maidenhead a bit later in the week. The children thoroughly enjoyed both visits and spending time with their grandparents, uncles and aunt. (Sadly we were not able to see Andrew and Naomi due to illness). <br />They had lots of lovely presents. For Isaac the highlight was most definitely his wooden train set which he has played with almost non-stop since we gave it to him on Christmas Day! Lydia and Caleb have had a lot of fun with their new collection of dressing up clothes and use them in many creative and imaginative games! <br />Christmas has also been a good time for Isaac in his language development and he is communicating really well. Tomorrow could be very strange (and quiet) for him, as Lydia and Caleb go back to school! http://www.easton.me.uk/baby/news.php Tue, 3 Jan 2012 22:52:39 22JanMET http://www.easton.me.uk/baby/news.php?1325627559 This term has simply flown by! <br />Lydia has had a good term and is leaving the hearing resource base at school as she no longer needs their support. This is a real achievement - and a first at the school! We are very proud of how hard she has worked. She has also lost three more teeth and now has a large gap at the front of her mouth! She has also made great progress in her very small swimming class and has really enjoyed learning new skills. <br />Caleb made a good start in Reception (apart from a small decorating the toilets incident in the first week...) and has made astonishing progress with his reading and writing. He is reading books from Year 1 and his spelling is also excellent. He has also started swimming lessons and is enjoying them. <br />Isaac has really come out of himself socially this term and has become more confident at toddler group and in the play gym. He loves helping me with the shopping and learning new words. Unfortunately his singing class was cancelled due to low numbers so we have been trying out alternative entertainment! <br />Yesterday we had a trip to the hospital for Lydia's six month and Isaac's three month implant tuning session. Both of their results were excellent and we were really pleased. <br />Lydia and Caleb took part in lovely nativities at school (Lydia as narrator number 18!, Caleb as a traveller) and they both sang enthusiastically. They are now very much looking forward to Christmas! http://www.easton.me.uk/baby/news.php Fri, 23 Dec 2011 21:28:14 21DecMET http://www.easton.me.uk/baby/news.php?1324672094
